Is this possible .Net 2.0?

[Aaron]

I wrote a win app in .net 2.0 c#. I would like to demo this on my client's
machine but it is not possible to install the .net framework 2.0 beta on his
machine.
Is it possible to pick the nessesary dll assembly files and compile them
into my .exe file?
or is there another way to accomplish this?

btw the machine has .net 1.1 and 1.0 installed

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,

There is an in my idea awful method (and software) posible to add parts of
the Net as in the past was done with by instance the different versions of
the VB runtimers.

Is it a kind of Hell you want to introduce that is even worse as the so
called DLL Hell?

Just my thought,

Cor

Aaron,

I forgot to tell. By malfunction from the computer of your clients after
doing it, it is probably in many parts of the world not impossible that he
can bring you to judge and will succeed if there is the slightest
malfunctioning of any program because of what you are doing.

Just my thought,

Cor

No.

Port it back to v1.x of the framework then?

Why don't you simply ship the .NET framework along with your app?

You can embed Mono in your application, if your code is compatible with it:

But I have no experience with it, so can't help you any further.

Aaron,

You are trying to get back in the past when all developers are dreaming of
the future.

..NET Framework has some system requirements. If you have machines that
doesn't stand with the requirements, it's your problem.

Anyhow, .NET framework is a BOX of dll's, right, but it must be distributed
as is.

Get back to the future, and forget about the past.

Why don't you simply ship the .NET framework along with your app?

Because Microsoft EULA does not allow shipping the .Net 2.0 beta
framework with an application. (This will probably change when v2.0 is
formally release in November)

Hi Aaron, contrary to all the somewhat (dare I say) negative replies, you
are not the only person to ask for this kind of requirement. This kind of
question cropped up a lot when .net was first released.
Although I've never tried it, this product claims to be able to do what you
want (in fact there are several other products out there too).

Please let me know how you get on.

Best Regards,

Mark.

Hi Aaron, contrary to all the somewhat (dare I say) negative replies,

I thought that I told that there are possibilities.

Correction probably possibilities, because I don't know it for 2.0. However
that are you not giving not positive as well.

[Mark Broadbent]

It is not obvious to me from any of your posts that you indicated that there
was any possibilities for him, in fact I'm not sure I really understood what
you were trying to tell Aaron.
Regardless, please keep to the original posters question rather than
attempting to engage me in an argument.

Br,

Mark.

Hi,

Thinstall is way overpiced, IMHO. But check out RemoteSoft, they have a new
product called the ".NET native compiler" which seems to do what you want. I
haven't tried it myself.

None of the proposed "possibilities" (thinstall and salamander) are
available for v2.0 Beta2.

[Mark Broadbent]

Hi Willy, on the thinstall website it stated something like 'is backwards
compatible for all framworks and forwards compatible for future ones'.

Is this a fact that they both definitely don't work for 2.0b2? If so,
presumably they are going to produce a new version sometime?

Br,
Mark.

 

[Willy Denoyette [MVP]]

Mark, Do you believe all this? How can they guarantee to be forward
compatible?
Anyway, I don't see any mention of v2.0 Beta2 on their site, and at present
you aren't allowed to distribute applications written with this beta stuff.

Willy.
